Prof. Seeck’s work intersects social theory, management and organization studies, history, education and communications. Her research concentrates on two themes: 1) the global travel of ideas: ‘the’ evolution, dissemination and glocalization of ideas and ideologies, and the role of different agents such as business schools, consultants and the media in their dissemination; 2) the travel of social innovations, ideas and practices – transforming agency and society, particularly through responsibilization and the new forms of governmentality entailed.
